Four

We were out for lunch, BTS, the crew staff and me, at a restaurant right next door to the studio. I realized that Jungkook was missing. I made eye contact with my brother. He seemed to understand, nodded and sent me off with wave of his hand. I ran out of the restaurant and into the BigHit studio. BTS' door was closed. I peeked in and saw Jungkook. He was dancing, I could hear the music for No More Dream playing loudly. I slowly opened the door, without him noticing. When I looked closer I noticed that his eyes were red.

I walked in front of him and sat down in my usual watching spot. He was surprised to see me but didn't stop dancing until the song was over.

When he finished he pushed his hands to his face and tried to walk out.

"Jungkook-ah," I said, dropping all formality. He had allowed me to call him by his first name, as we had become good friends for the past month.

"Ah, Jae, I. . .bathroom?" he said, unsure of himself. I shook my head, knowing he was lying.

"Aniyo, you're lying. What's wrong? Gwaenchanh-a?" I asked him, taking a step closer. He stuttered for a moment before completely breaking down. He sat down on the wood floor.

My eyes got big and I sank down next to him. "Wae? Jungkook-ah!" I said, scooting closer to him. He had his head in his hands. I reached out to him, first hesitating but them bringing him into my embrace. I hugged him tightly.

"Kookie, what's wrong?" I whispered affectionately.

"Eomma," he said, his sobbing getting slower. "I miss my eomma and appa," I sighed into his hair.

"Hmm, al-a, I know," I said, squeezing tighter. Abruptly, Jungkook pulled away from me, got up and walked over to a corner. He rested his head on the wall and stood there. I looked down at my hands before deciding to walk over to him again.

His eyes were closed, a lone tear rolling down his cheek. I swallowed and pressed my thumb to his face, wiping the tear away.

"Gomawo," Junkook whispered. I turned him around and searched his eyes. I stood on my toes, put my arms around his shoulders and pulled him into another hug. He let out another sob, I felt a blob of water wet my shoulder. Jungkook wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me firmly. My heart was beating so fast.

I pulled away quickly, "You hungry?" I asked him. He seemed a lot better. He smiled his signature bunny smile and nodded. I grinned, grabbing his hand, "Gaja,"
